Juice Portal

A cool place with local whimsical art and delicious, healthy food served by nice people!

Beautiful store. The lady who helped me this morning was sweet, made eye contact and I felt like she cared about me - this means the world to me when I choose a food place to patronize. I was so hungry that I forgot to take a photo of this beautiful granola bowl before I dove in. This granola bowl is delicious...and not too sweet. Thank you!

I love having a local juice/smoothie bar near me. I stopped by for an açaí bowl to-go, and it was delicious with a strong berry profile. Besides the açaí I got, they have a good variety of other options on the menu, as well as a grab-and-go cooler of healthy snacks. The interior of the juice bar is bright and spacious with some seating to wait for your order or enjoy it on the spot. Staff are friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed coming here and will probably become a regular.

The food is healthy and clean. I ordered a salad for my partner to pick up for me. When I received it, the dressing was not included. This place appears to think carefully about the quality of their dressing and they're proud of the dressing. Arguably, dressing is very important in a salad for health and for taste. I was disappointed this integral part of the salad was left out. If you order a salad from this place, please be sure to check the bag. They might forget it.

Always fast and great service. I’ve had a couple things I don’t love but I’ll keep coming back for the Golden Gate smoothie!! Deliiiish!

Today (Tuesday 10/18) we ate here and in one of our dishes we found a giant maggot. When we shared this information with the two people working they barely responded. We asked them to check and see if there was a maggot infestation and they said there was not. One of them said we could take a free juice from the refrigerator to make up for the maggot. We did not take the juice.. but we probably should have gotten a refund. Anyway, check your food before you eat it!

Great place for fresh wheatgrass.

Nothing's organic, so you're really just slurping down big cups/bowls of pesticide 🤷

Delicious smoothies and great, quick customer service So glad they brought back the salads

Tasty smoothies. I usually get the Goji Tropical. It's the right amount of sweetness, though turmeric is sometimes strong. The thickness and texture is great. I often feel like I should get the smaller size, but I always end up drinking way more than I expect since it's so good! It's not the most affordable so I get it when I want a healthier treat, but that's the price of produce these days I guess. Service is usually quick. However, sometimes the indoors is too cold when I'm drinking my smoothies, whereas I came on a hot day it's extremely stuffy inside and they didn't have their outdoor seating set up either- not sure what's going on. Either way, not enough to stop me from coming here, and I'd be interested to try their salads or bowls some other time.

Poor customer service. Walked in. Ordered. Paid. Not a single word from the young gal giving me the nasty stare down behind the counter... cept... wait... other people walked in afterwards and she talked to them! Whats up with that? Will I be back? No. First and LAST

Stopped by to grab a smoothie on a warm afternoon since there wasn't a line and I thought it would be quick. I opted for the Golden Gate smoothie as I saw that it was a popular menu item! The 16oz was $9.50, and the 20oz is $11.50. Service took a little longer than expected (around 10 minutes). The staff don't call out orders after they're made, so you need to pay attention to who ordered before you -- I almost grabbed someone else's order because they ordered the same thing! I saw a family order some acai bowls, so I will def be back to try those out next time. The smoothie itself was fresh and not too thick. The pineapple was the flavor that dominated and it was actually a little bitter. I appreciated that it was not too sweet, so it felt like a nice healthy treat.

Pretty good smoothies but nothing outstanding. I'm giving it 4 stars just because it never wows me but it's still pretty good. It's very clean & spacious in there which I like. The staff are always very sweet too.

One word: smoothies This is right next to my Pilates class so I decided to stop by for a little smoothie to rehydrate and get some nutrients in. I got the: - green portal juice w hemp protein powder: kinda gross... taste like a blended vegan spring roll with all the veggies and herbs. I mean if it's really good for you, I'll take it... $10 ish 3/5 stars

Such a bright and open place, there is indoor seating available. There usually isn't a line, so service is fairly quick. The drinks are always made fresh, just a tad pricey.

Clean and friendly. Nice to have a juice bar that isn't Jamba Juice. Went with the Golden Gate and Goji Tropical since yelpers said most popular.

I've been here a few times and always like to try something different. So far, everything I've tried has tasted really good! I like that it's not too sweet or too runny like some other places. The place is always clean and the staff is friendly. They have a single stall bathroom for customers and it's kept clean as well. Recently I came in for one of their immunity boosters and the goji tropical smoothie. I liked both because they had ginger in them, but it wasn't overpowering. I'm also a big fan of dates and a few of their smoothies have Medjool dates in them, so I was definitely excited to try one of those. Last time I was there I got the blue majik, and so far it's my favorite. I will definitely be back to try the other smoothies they offer.

Before coming to Juice Portal, when I would think of juice shops, this high-end spot in SoMa that my former co-worker used to go to would immediately come to mind. It was a rather small shop, without much else to offer, but their juices always looked appealing - fresh, organic, and creative. However, as good as they looked, it was hard for my head (and my wallet) to wrap around how pricey those small little bottles were. Not exactly the best memory to come away with, but in a twisted turn of events, it helped with my first impression of Juice Portal! Given my past experiences, I wasn't expecting much of anything beyond their juices, though I was certainly hopeful they had more to offer. So, it was more than a pleasant surprise to see that Juice Portal's menu was actually pretty large! In addition to the aforementioned juice options, you can also choose from an interesting variety of smoothies, acai bowls, grain bowls, soups, salads, toasts, and wraps. In other words, way more than I had reasonably hoped for...and yet I've only managed to try their smoothies... -- BERRY GOOD - Banana, Strawberry, Blueberry, and Oat Milk...$10 (20 oz) (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/juice-portal-san-francisco?select=NRk9zRmzkCPEZVuJIj24cw) It's one of their "simpler" smoothies, but this one was my favorite (what can I say - I'm a simple guy). Fresh, very fruity (the strawberries were faint), and I liked the texture - very smooth with a few chunks of fruit. Delicious! -- COCOA BLISS - Banana, Cacao Powder, Cacao Nibs, Ashwagandha, Himalayan Pink Salt, and Oat Milk...$8 (16 oz) (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/juice-portal-san-francisco?select=3wyqs1QG8VA7APpAwCSJ7A) I was super hopeful for this one, but it fell a bit short. While it wasn't "bad", it didn't have that classic chocolate and banana flavor that I love. Not sure if it was the cacao powder or the ashwagandha (or both), but it had an earthy, gritty kind of taste to it that I wasn't expecting. -- GOJI TROPICAL - Mango, Ginger, Orange, Goji Berries, Turmeric, and Pineapple Juice...$10 (20 oz) (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/juice-portal-san-francisco?select=Mc5d5ERQ5MwGeDo25Gh1vg) Just as tropical and delicious as it sounds. The orange, pineapples, and mango were so good and I liked the goji berries at the very end. If there was slightly less turmeric (it was pretty strong), this would've nearly perfect. Along with their smoothies, the other thing I like about Juice Portal is how friendly and accommodating the workers have been. In particular, one of them was super helpful with recommending a smoothie to my friend my first time here. Though, in the interest of fairness, it seems to take longer than I remember from my order to get made during my most recent visit. Plus, it's not like that sort of thing is going to deter me from coming back for another Berry Good smoothie...and to try their acai bowl!

I can't rave about Juice Portal enough! They have an amazing selection of smoothies, juices, salads, grain bowls and so much more! No matter when you walk into the shop, it'll always be bustling with customers. The works are always so kind and patient and service is fast, even when they're busy. The ambiance is relaxed and the decor is minimal, but modern. I love coming to Juice Portal because everything that I consume here never makes me feel sluggish, but yet makes me feel energized and refreshed.

Small juice spot. Fast service. I really enjoyed this pineapple, turmeric, goji smoothie. Delicious! A bit pricey & paper straw only complaints.

Right in my neighborhood, this is my go to place if I'm craving a smoothie or something whole, healthy and fresh. They don't add sugar or dairy creams into their smoothies, which I appreciate. My Smoothie favorites: PURPLE REIGN - Banana, blueberry, strawberry, peanut butter, maple syrup & almond milk. If you're a peanut butter fan, this one's for you! GOLDEN GATE - Pineapple, mango, medjool dates, lime, coconut water & beet juice. Tropical fresh goodness, the color is like a vibrant sunset! Also have ordered KID'S SMOOTHIE (Strawberry, banana, apple juice) for my granddaughter - she loved it. As for food, the LENTIL VEGGIE SOUP was solidly good. Straight forward healthy veggie soup. GREEN GODDESS SALAD - Lettuce blend, edamame, roasted Brussels sprouts, cherry tomato, scallions, cucumber, crushed almonds with a cashew based green goddess dressing, garnished with toasted quinoa. Lovely ingredients, tasty, I enjoyed this salad on a previous visit. The gentleman helping us was very friendly and helpful. My husband asked for a sample of the soup, which he graciously heated up for us to taste. He made our experience here an even better one!

I had the golden gate and it was delicious! It's in the WP, so cute area, there's parking and a lot of walkable shops and other places to eat. Juice Portal was clean and the employees were kind. I would definitely go back

Good smoothies. But unfriendly wait staff. Maybe she was tired. Maybe it was the end of her shift. Maybe she was having a bad day. But a good attitude truly does make a difference because despite the smoothies being pretty good, I mostly remember Juice Portal for my sub par experience.

Okay just YES! Incredible Açai bowls, made promptly and with a smile! Tried out two days in a row to check consistency and bam! Delicious, super recommend.

Tasty smoothies. Got the black one. Will try one of the bowls next time. Seems like its best to get the large one and save half for later.

Everything here is plant based. I tried the blue majik and added protein. Very fresh and tasty. I like having more plant based places and offerings. This place has good prices.

Pretty decent juice bar store, a bit limiting on types of drinks but overall not bad. Place is spacious. there are large tables for seating. Got a golden gate, the pineapple and mango and pineapple with the beat juice makes it look so pretty! I especially love the hint of lime. I only wish that they had a passion fruit drink :9

What attracted my attention several times while riding K Ingleside streetcar? Look on the right side and remember the name in capital letters. Juice Portal!! Here in West Portal Avenue, nothing in life can be boring once going out and buy what's more than just a refreshing drink. I would quickly get off from the West Portal Station, so that I could make my way to Juice Portal. Wheat grass shots, kombucha on tap, I feel like I want them all! Actually, how 'bout once per visit? (*w*). Before I head back home, it'd be exciting to try out Blue Majik. This is one smoothie that still needs alot of attention since Jamba Juice 2 years ago. There's absolutely nothing to complain about the funkiness from the chosen fruit blends, including traces of medjool dates. I love to have this drink again, either from Juice Portal or Jamba Juice. There's no further words to describe the atmosphere of Juice Portal, let alone the beautiful drawing of a peaceful West Portal Avenue. Neither do the customer service, since it's fair and friendly.

This smoothie place is a solid 4 stars! The smoothie was good and tasted fresh. The ambience is cute and the staff members were nice! I think the price is quite average for this area. My partner got the Matcha Smoothie which he said was very sweet. It was good but a lot sweeter than expected. I got the Berry Good which I really liked!!! They didn't sweet to blend it that well since there was a banana chunk at the bottom of my drink. But for $6 I thought it was pretty okay - nothing mind blowing though

Great juice, not the best food or service. Very pricy for the quality of the food. Waited at least 15 minutes to pay the bill, went up to counter to pay and waited an additional 10 minutes just for change. The chicken and waffles was not the best, chicken was extremely over cooked and dry and the waffles were also just as dry, was told they had no dipping sauces either. Unfortunately, my partner and I got the same meal so was unable to try any additional items from the menu. Juice was good though.

Don't get me wrong, the juice here is great. But, I do think $8.00 for a small drink is a bit much. Other than that, the juice came out very quick and the restaurant is very clean.

Really good food is sold and prepared here. Unfortunately, their employees are terribly under trained. They don't know anything about how their products are prepared. It seems every time I come in here there is a new poorly trained employee who is running the order taking process while managing the POS system. Also the manager is not very nice. I complained to the manager for the orders taking 20-25 minutes. He got very aggressive with me and started pointing at me while telling me that it's so hard for them to work efficiently. I'll never visit this place again. They think that their customers are a luxury. They are sadly mistaken. There are hundreds of competitors. Maybe they need to hire more people to speed up their process. Like most other hospitality businesses today they are massively understaffed and train their staff terribly.

Been wanting to come back. So we walk in at 6:14 straight from work and was turned away, with the staff saying they were closed. We said "oh we thought you close at 6:30" (seeing the times on the door, which actually already seems earlier than their original operating hours). To which the answer was "yeah but not today, it was slow". Hmm seeing as paying customers walked in, you'd think they'd want the business. Good luck to you.

I visited this location on a Wednesday afternoon. Per the employee's recommendation, I got the Golden Gate smoothie, then I made it a bowl with everything. The employee was also really patient with me since this was my first visit. I expected it be thicker like an acai bowl since I upgraded it to a bowl, but perhaps a bowl just meant a larger size. Either way, I liked the flavors and toppings (granola, coconut, goji, berries), but it was more like a soup and honestly difficult to eat with a small plastic spoon. For the size of the smoothie bowl and price, I don't think I would come here again if I want something like an acai bowl. I would probably visit again to try other items, or maybe just ask for a straw to drink the bowl instead.

This juice bar is definitely a vibe! from the lights to the color pop of the art and decor. The staff was very friendly. Parking was not too hard as there's a parking lot right next door. There's a bit of a wait because they do make everything fresh. I am currently waiting for my order. Will do another update once I get home and inhale my breakfast

I ordered the green envy and it was pretty gross. Customer service is also poor - asked which smoothie is most refreshing and he shrugged and seemed unsure of himself. He was on his phone watching a football game the entire time.

I've only picked up a juice blend in-store one time, but have ordered online a few times. High-quality and refreshing every time.

This was my first visit to this establishment. I wanted a smoothie and found this place. The menu was not overwhelming like some places. Meaning - they had enough ( not too many) options to make a decision. The menu was very clear and easy to understand. I ordered something tropical with goji berries. It was delicious. Definitely would return for the good smoothie. Perfect in density and temperature. They had some juice options and some bottled options. The customer service was lacking and the mood seemed uninviting. But maybe it was just the mid day lull or something.

Today I stopped by and ordered three smoothies, the Blue Majik, Green with Envy, and Berry Good. I also picked up two juices; one of the juices was beet and I can't quite recall the other. All in all, I definitely enjoyed my order! I'm liquid cleansing today and finding this spot really made a sometimes challenging all-liquid-diet day enjoyable. It's all organic and delicious! I'll definitely be back.

This is a great addition to West Portal! I just noticed this place has opened up in West Portal, I love smoothies and Acai bowls, but I was skeptical of a place that just serves juice and those and a few salad bowls. To my surprise this is my favorite light breakfast spot now! The Acai bowl is huge! In the past two days, my husband and I grabbed coffee from a near by coffee shop, come here and share an Acai bowl. The interior is beautiful and sunny, so it feels good eating a cold Acai bowl even in the cold winter days :). The Acai bowl has lots of healthy and filling toppings, and makes it a perfect breakfast!

I come here almost every week and get the Purple Reign, it's my fave! Order on Uber eats ahead of time and it's ready when I get there. Got a salad a few times and thought it was OK, thought they could have more substance. I'll try more drinks!

Matcha Smoothie was way too sweet with a strong banana/ date taste. Can't even taste the matcha. But the worst part was the lady who didn't even wear her gloves to make our smoothie. Scratched her back in the process and had rings on her fingers!!!! Wtf you thinking during COVID-19?!!! It's her fault but also the ownership/ management on the lack of food safety protocols. Terrible. AVOID!!!

I was looking for a smoothie/juice location and happened to stumble upon this place and I'm so glad I did! The staff was super friendly and helped me decide on the Golden Gate. No regrets! Definitely very tangy and tropical (not overly sweet, which I prefer) and quenched my thirst amongst the 90 degree weather my goodness. Would definitely come back here if I'm ever back in the city!

I've been sleeping on this place! Ordered a few smoothies/juices and an açai today. Everything was really delicious and tasted very fresh and still cold when they were delivered. Really enjoyed the nitro boost, not too sweet!

Really happy to have made it back to SF. Great prices~ great smoothie~ great service. I tried the Matcha Joy, and it was really good. Love that they have hemp-milk! I really want to try the Golden Gate. They have juices, salads, acai bowls, cold pressed juices, and shots too.

Amazing juice and salad selection. Everything tasted fresh and flavors were well balanced. Dressing for the green goddess salad was very memorable. Excited to return to try a smoothie!

Blue majik- 7.50 16 ounce orange peach, medjool date, hemp seeds, blue majik and coconut water. Here for self care and nourishing my body with blue majik.

This place suck took very long for my order and the person behind me got there drink first, don't come here. Should never tip these guys.

I tried three different juice places within two days and I have to say that this place is my winner. The drink selection is good and the pricing is okay. The main reason though is for the taste. I was able to drink my smoothie easily and the drink wasn't overly sweet, but still delicious. The service is great and it took about 5-10 minutes to get my drinks. Something I noticed was that I didn't hear any loud smoothie being blended like in other shops :) Parking might be hard to find, I had to park around the corner. I ordered the Cacao Bliss and Purple Reign both with added mushroom blend. The Cacao Bliss was great and easy to drink. The Purple Reign tasted a lot like a peanut butter banana smoothie, I wish they balanced out the flavors more. We asked what was in the mushroom blend, expecting it to be a mixture of multiple mushrooms, but it only contained reishi. We also got their soup of the day, which was tomato basil w/ chickpeas. It was good and I'd get it again maybe with a salad or sandwich next time :D

Love coming here! Between the fresh smoothies and juices/shots/food options I always leave feeling great. Staff is friendly and everything tastes wonderful.

gumby!! so good, so fresh.. smoothie!!! :) i drink granola too! vibrant smoothie and hummus

I was passing by and something called me in and as I looked at the menu I decided to purchase 3 smoothies the people here are so nice and so friendly and they're willing to accommodate you in any way possible by substituting different items within your drink if you're ever in the west portal area please stop by and pay them a visit and enjoy a juice or a smoothie

Smoothies? Carrot pulp is more like that and when I complained to Nina her answer was you don't like carrot juice? I believe the customer is always right and when the last ingredient is carrot then maybe I should have tasted the other fruits in it. Bad customer service in my opinion.

Finally, more health conscious and hip spots are opening up in West Portal with a good variety of salads. This place is a great addition to the neighborhoid as I'm a healthy eater and want stuff that is fresh and easy to order take out. Haven't tried the smoothies yet but they look like they would be yummy served in a bowl with their healthy toppings. Would love it if they had more options for acai bowls such as adding peanut butter or having other varieties of mix ins. Also would be great if this place made their own desserts or healthy vegan pastries! One suggestion, when I ordered the salad I didn't see the option to add on tofu or tempeh as that menu sign is hidden by the counter on the wall. I would place it closer to the rest of the menu so more people see it.

Such a fan of this place. Was in the area with my boyfriend and we were looking for something quick to snack on while we killed some time. The place wasn't too busy, and the lady at the cashier was super friendly and helpful (it was our first time and there are so many options that sounded good so she helped narrow it down). The place was small and cozy and looked super clean. Prices are as expected at West Portal, but would definitely come back when I am around.

Juices are good, super fresh and remember to take the wide straw! Cool wall art and nice music/vibe!
